• Midyear 1999. SPC Coastal Fisheries website now appears to have achieved "sustainability" (a very topical word in Fisheries), 3 years after its inception as a spare-time project by TJA on PJH's webserver. Several people have become involved and interested & growing rapidly. Corporate mutterings about acceptability to the outside world are starting to be heard, and may soon be time for the hackish ones to move on to some new project.

• March 1998 - Added SPOCC page & links to other organisations
• November 23 1997 - From the Honiara Hotel, Solomon Islands - Completed staff pages (a little sparse, but it provides something to hang future profiles on), added a few more reports to IFRP and ICFMaP pages. Added the Links Newcomers guide and some bits of Coastal Fisheries programme review to the title page & generally tidied up the wording to reflect organisational name changes. Removed links to some country reports because they haven't been cleared yet.
• November 21 1997 - Modified home page to reflect SPC's new name & new Director of Marine Resources. Added a few projects, as future links to project-specific home pages under the control of project managers.

• June 13th 1997 - Ported some ICFMaP project pages from internal, particularly some recent publications. Unpublished country reports not cleared for public distribution yet. Logframes need updating. Project progress reports not ported yet, owing to high "frankness" quotient.
• June 12th 1997 - Tired of waiting for coastal fisheries staff to contribute to the site. Only response from Marie-Therese Bui who got together some RTMF meeting papers and translations. Will start porting other existing material as time permits & any complaints about editorial bias will be consigned to the round file.

Decision to have a separate folder for each individual report, person, or project to include all essential graphics and text relating to that item, to allow for easy maintenance and portability. Structural elements (intro pages, menus, buttons etc) can share graphics from the \logos and \textures directories..
